Burgmeier’s Hauling

What Burgmeier’s Hauling does

Burgmeier's Hauling, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service waste management company founded in 1976 by Dave Burgmeier and headquartered at 1356 Old 6th Avenue Road in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The company operates across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia with a fleet of more than 55 trucks and approximately 125 employees. Its revenue base spans residential trash collection (curbside and cart-based subscriptions billed quarterly), commercial dumpster service (1-10 yard), industrial waste management (dumpsters, roll-offs, self-contained and stationary compactors), temporary roll-off rentals (10-30 yard for contractors and construction), mobile document shredding with certificates of destruction, three-stream recycling with an automated material recovery facility, and public transfer station disposal at two owned-and-operated facilities — the Blair County Resource Recovery Facility in Altoona and the Allegany County Resource Recovery Facility in Cumberland, Maryland.

The company's underlying technology stack combines digital routing, real-time GPS tracking, in-cab cameras, and weight reporting integrated across its truck fleet, alongside a proprietary compressed natural gas (CNG) filling station in Altoona supporting a converted CNG fleet, and an automated robotic sorting line at the Altoona material recovery facility. These assets underpin the company's vertically integrated service model — collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal are largely internalized rather than outsourced — which supports the local cost advantage and service-level control that the company markets to residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers.

Commercially, Burgmeier's runs a primarily direct, sales-led, and direct-to-customer go-to-market: customers reach the company via phone, website, and email; field sales representatives and customer service teams handle account management across the service area. Pricing is split between recurring subscriptions for residential and standard commercial accounts, transaction-based (pay-as-you-go) billing for roll-offs and transfer station tonnage (publicly disclosed at $107.20/ton and $53.60/half ton), and project-based fees for LEED-certified construction recycling. Recent strategic activity — including the December 2025 acquisition of Dutch's Hauling's customer base and the April 2025 award of the Centre Region COG municipal contract for five Centre County townships — points to an active regional roll-up strategy layered on top of an otherwise mature, family-owned operating base.

• Republic Services: Republic Services is one of the largest U.S. non-hazardous solid waste management companies operating collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal services nationwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes directly with Burgmeier's for municipal and commercial accounts across Pennsylvania and Maryland and sets the competitive benchmark on technology and fleet electrification.
• Casella Waste Systems: Casella is a publicly traded regional vertically integrated solid waste, recycling, and resource management company serving the Northeastern U.S. with collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal operations. Comparable as a larger, public-market regional roll-up with identical service lines (residential, commercial, roll-off, transfer stations, recycling) and a similar New England/Mid-Atlantic operating geography.
• Waste Connections: Waste Connections is a leading integrated solid waste services provider in North America, offering collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal across 40+ U.S. states and Canada. Comparable as a broad incumbent pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy of regional haulers like Burgmeier's, with overlapping service lines in markets where the two may converge.
• Waste Management, Inc. Waste Management is the largest waste management company in North America, operating collection, transfer, recycling, and landfill services across the United States and Canada. Comparable as the dominant national incumbent whose routes, transfer stations, and landfills define the competitive context within which Burgmeier's regional haul operations must operate in PA, MD, and WV.

Regional players

• Rumpke Waste & Recycling: Rumpke is a privately held waste and recycling company serving Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia with collection, transfer, recycling, and landfill operations.

• County Waste & Recycling: County Waste & Recycling is a regional waste hauler providing residential, commercial, roll-off dumpster, and recycling services across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. Comparable as a similarly sized Mid-Atlantic multi-state hauler that competes for the same residential, commercial, and roll-off customers in the geographies where Burgmeier's operates.
• J.P. Mascaro & Sons: J.P. Mascaro & Sons is one of the largest privately held waste haulers in Pennsylvania, operating residential, commercial, industrial, and recycling services across southeastern and central PA. Comparable as another family-controlled Pennsylvania multi-service waste company with overlapping customer segments and service lines that compete with Burgmeier's for municipal contracts in adjacent counties.

Direct peers

Others

• Haul Away Rubbish Services: Haul Away Rubbish Services is an independent waste removal company offering roll-off dumpster rentals and junk removal services in select Pennsylvania markets. Comparable as a smaller competing regional player offering overlapping roll-off and junk removal services that vie for some of the same contractor and residential cleanout customers as Burgmeier's.
